During cpufreq driver's registration, if the ->init() callback for all
the CPUs fail then there is not much point in keeping the driver around
as it will only account for more unnecessary noise, for example cpufreq
core will try to suspend/resume the driver which never got registered
properly.

The removal of such a driver is avoided if the driver carries the
CPUFREQ_STICKY flag. This was added way back [1] in 2004 and perhaps no
one should ever need it now. A lot of driver do set this flag, probably
because they just copied it from another driver.

Remove the flag and update the relevant drivers.

IIRC, it was required on various ARM systems,[*] as CPUs were registered as
subsys_initcall(), while cpufreq used to be initialized only later, as an
arch_initcall(). If the ordering is opposite now on all architectures (it
wasn't on ARM back then), we should be fine.

Thanks,

s/later/earlier ? arch happens before subsys not at least and that is
the only way we can break cpufreq here, i.e. when the driver comes up
before the CPUs are registered.

Thanks for your reply, it made me look at that aspect in some more
detail to confirm I don't end up breaking anything. Unless I am making
a mistake in reading the code, this is the code flow that we have
right now:

start_kernel()
-> kernel_init()
   -> kernel_init_freeable()
      -> do_basic_setup()
         -> driver_init()
            -> cpu_dev_init()
               -> subsys_system_register(for-CPUs)
 
         -> do_initcalls()
            -> register-cpufreq-driver from any level

And so CPUs should always be there for a cpufreq driver.

Makes sense ?

It does to me, but can you update the changelog, please?
